Letter: Benghazi

Mr. McCauley, 54 wrongs do not make a right. My parents taught me that two wrongs do not make a right years ago. I’m sick and tired of the pseudo-intellectual liberals still trying to blame Bush.

Mr. McCauley, 54 wrongs do not make a right. My parents taught me that two wrongs do not make a right years ago. I’m sick and tired of the pseudo-intellectual liberals still trying to blame Bush. Do you people not understand that four people died and consulate property destroyed while a squad of special forces were told to “stand down” when they were less than two hours flying time from Benghazi. This is inexcusable no matter what “Bush did.” The president is at the top of the chain of command and as such should be held responsible for not even trying to help but instead just watched and heard them die. You may be able to excuse this despicable conduct but no American military person who is taught from boot camp to do everything and anything to aid their comrades and “leave no American behind.” Maybe you and your university people need to develop a conscience and gain some idea of honor and commitment instead of always blaming your shortcomings on somebody else so that your conscience is clear.
